AGRICULTURAL
PREPARING GROUND FOR WINTER
WHEAT.
More partial failures in securing a
satisfactory yield Of wheat cccur
through the neglect to properly pre-
pare the seed -bed than from any other
'muse, writes a correspondent. We seem
to forget that the finer we get the sur-
face the better opportunity the roots
of the wheat have to obtain that close
and multiplied contact with the soil
which is essential to its firm support
and vigorous feeding, This desired con-
dition of the ground can be obtained
only by thorough and judicious work-
ing after the ploughing is done, as well
as plowing at the proper time and un-
der the moat favorable conditions pos-
sible. Often we are at the mercy of
conditions which we cannot control and
yet which materially affect the ulti-
mate result. Dry weather may retard the
plowing and then lack of rain may
leave the ground rough and cloddy and
render it impossible with any amount
of work to get it into that friable con-
dition which we all like to see before
we put any kind of seed into the ground.
But then there world be no zest in
farming if there were no difficulties
against which to measure our brain and
musele. We have just finished seeding
to wheat a piece of clover sod which
to our mind was the most perfeet seed.
bed we have ever succeeded in securing.
This success we attribute to thorough
working, supplemented by favorable
conditions of the weather. The sod was
turned under the early part of Aug-
ust and at the time was covered with
a heavy growth of clover. The plow-
ing was about four or five inches deep
and the sod was turned as nearly flat
as possible. This we consider quite es-
sential. This leaves the surface level
and in condition tobe worked fine with
firm soil beneath. When ready for
the drill the field presented the ap-
pearance of a garden as we express it,
with a fine loose surface soil about two
inches deep, while by sinking the heel
into it the firm soil could be felt be-
neath. Another advantage in turn-
ing the sod completely over is in getting
the clover down into the ground, where
it will 'benefit the soil and feed the
p>ant, instead of having it on the sur-
face to 'interfere with the harrow and
the seeder. As soon as 'the plowing
was finished the disk harrow was run
over the field lengthwise of the furrow.
This working cut any clods upon the
surface, and left them in condition to
be dissolved by the action of the rain
and atmosphere. It mho distributed the
fine soil over the, surface, covering up
any defects in t he plowing and filling
the interstices of the inverted sod. The
field was then left to the action of the
elements to continue the preparation.
We had heavy rainy following. and the
soil
was in condition t orecetve the
soil was in condition to receive the
greatest benefit front the moisture and
the atmospheric changes. Let. us em -

A o t. If the round whew
they stubble ornsod, is not'n condition
to receive the 'greatest benefit from
sunshine and rain, use the harrow, roll-
er and other toes until it ie. The prac-
tice is to leave the ground untouched
after plowing until ready for feeding.
This may be sufficient in some inst-
ances, but usually th- land is benefit-
ed l;v frequent working;: until the prop-
er time for sowing or planting. This
applies tc the ground^ for all crops.
We have for the 'net few years ad-
vocated the early spring working of fall
plowing in order to break up the crust
formed during the winter, and bring -
fag the eoiii into, contact with the air.

ends. but would certainly not have af-
fected the entire lump. We are strong
adveeatc-s of the disk harrow for part-
ing the lumps of earth and leveling the
surface of the ground., The idea is
this: Prepare the ground with the in-
tention of giving each kernel of wheat j
the best possible chance to root and
grow. To say, "Oh, well the ground
is cloddy and unewten, but I will sown
more to the acre, and enough will ger-
minate to make a good stand," is a slip-
shod method and a dangerous heresy.
AN IMPROVED SMOKE -HOUSE.
The approach of the season when
meats are usualte preserved by smok-
ing, calls up suggestions in regard to
this subject. A correspondent writes to
Country Gentleman of ;his plan. Wben
one has but a few pieces of meat 'to
smoke. a smoke -house may be impro-
vised in a few moments by taking two
empty barrehs, putting cele on top of
the other. In the side of the lower
barrel is cut an opening, in which an
old kettle is set, filled with smoulderitnig
chips or corncobs. The upper barrel has
either books in its bottom or sides—the
bottom of the barrel -being now upper-
most—or has rods passing through the
aides on which to hang the meat, A
smalls hole can he bored in the barrel's
bottom to give a straight draft, if
needed, while the opening in front of
the kettle can he ei'osed if the draft
proves too strong. A. simple little ar-
rangement of this sort will often do
as good work as one on which much
money and labor have been spent. The
same plate is suggested for use in fum-
igating articles, or for bleaching arti-
cles with burning su]Iphur.. For such
purposes a tighter chamber is requir-
ed than is needed for smoking meat,
This tightness ean be secured ba. wrap,

eatness, both as regards the care of the
herd and personal neatness.
This is a delicate subject, but an im-
portant one. How many go direct from
the stables, where they have been busy
attending to stable duties, grooming
horses, cleaning the stalls, etc.?, How
many smoke while milking? And
should the pipe spill part of the con-

same. If you use the deep -setting or
the shallow -set ling system, or in other
words, use cans or cracks, or haus, all
require thoroughness in cleansing. The
last named vessels require more than
the first, perhaps., But as roost farm-
ers use the shallow system of milk -

Milk should be strained soon after
being drawn, first through a common
wire strainer and then through thin
muslin. Have a set of these strainers
so that a clean one can be had every
day. Simply rinsing These strainer
cloths will not do. After being used
they should be rinsed and dried, and

although a detached dairy room islpuch
better if properly constructed.

A little rubber doll with a whistle
in its stonnach was all that saved. the
residence of Mr, Frank Steubling, who
lives at 1813 Quincy street, Louisville,
Ey., from being ransacked by thieves
at an early hour.
The other morning Mrs. Steuhling
came to town anti bought the little
India rubber hero, and took it borne
for her 3-year-cld child'. The little girl
played with the article all day long
and at night, when she retired, the

Mrs. Illuck—What are they selling

'Cause they'raiiearIty eaten up every

CLEANING SILK.
The cleaning of silk is a much mare
difficult thing than the eleaning of
wool. There are few cloths of pure
wool which eaunot'• be washed with
white soap and water. The process of
cleaning the cloth with soap bark is
much more thorough than any ordin-
ary washing with soap and ;water can
be. Some silk of ordinary weaving
cannot be washed successfully without
losing lustre and changing color. The
dyes of silk are not made so as to be
color -proof, as cotton goods usually are.
There is no special effort on the part
of silk colorists to do anything but
prepare goods that will not fade in
the light under the ordinary circum-
stances to which silk is subjected. There
are some delicate colors that will not
stand cleaning. The majority of silks
may be cleaned by the process given,
otherwise they may be considered be-
yond cleaning. Lay the pieces of silk
on a pad made of linen. The fold of
a white linen sheet will do very well.
Stretch the silk on the pad, and if it is
greasy remove the grease sports with a
piece of cotton dipped in refined gaso-
line or benzine, the name under which
gasoline is often sold by druggists.
Clean the silk in this way on both sides.
Do not wet it, but moisten the clean-
ing pad of cotton often with the liquid,
After the process take a free') padof
linen and lay the silk over it and sponge
with a mixture of half rain water and
half alcohol. Rinse this off with clear
rain water, drying it carefully, with
linen so as to absorb all the moisture,
you can, Turn the silk on the wrong
Side, lay a cloth over it, and 'press it
very carefully. It it is very delicate
silk it can sometimes be dried on the
board without applying beat.
POTATOES FOR A WEEK.
Sunday—Mashed potatoes. are - very
nice. They should not be pounded in-
to a soddden mass, but whisked to a
creamy . substance. To do this they
should be peeled, steamed, broken with
a potato whip, moistened with milk
and butter, and seasoned with salt and
pepper, and beaten likea batter until
very light.
Monday—Have them ';waked in their
skins. In doing tbis be very careful
to see that they are washed clean.
baked in a good oven, and served hot.
Tuesday—Peel and bake with a roast.
When this meat Is within half an hour
of being ready they may be put into
the gravy and baked until covered with
a crisp brown skin.
Wednesday—Slice thin as for frying,
soak in coldwater one-half hour, put
in a pudding dish', with salt, pepper,
and milk. and bake far one hour. This
is known as Kentucky style.
Thursday -Serve them fried whole.
Peel and boll them. Roll in beaten egg,
then cracker crumbs, and fry in butter.
Friday—Have potatoes a is Paris-
ienne. Wash and rub them with a
rause towel until they are skinned, dip
into boiling water and boil until tender.
Have ready in a saucepan some hot
cream and butter, a. little green par-
sley, pepper and salt. Pour the wa-
ter off the boiled potatoes, cover with
this and. let it stand.
Saturday—Boil them in their skins
and serve with butter.
SOME. Goon RECUPES.
An Improved Stew.—Take a half-
dozen lamb chaps from the neck, trim,
flour and put them in a saucepan with
a little butter and fry to a pale brown,
adding a sliced onion, which must not
take much color; put in three-quar-
ters of a pint of cold stock made from
bones and skim off the fat that will
be thrown up; acld a ,small teaspoon-
ful of salt, and less than half as much
white pepper, and a couple of mint
leaves; simmer very slowly for an hour
and a ball or two hours; parboil
1 1 ofofpotatoes and
a cot o pounds new
p
cut them in halves or quarters, so a9
to make all the same size, if large and
small must be used together; then
place them on the top of the meat to
finish the cooking. Sirmer gently until
the potatoes are done, then dish up
with the vegetables an the top. As a
change, omit the mint leaves, and either
cook a few button mushrooms with the
meat or flavor the gravy with mrtll-
room ketchup. Add more seasoning to
the gravy if needed before the potatoes
go in. A ring of green peas around
the pile adds to its appearance.
Stewed Cheese.—Quarter pound of
cheese, grated, one gill of new milk
half an ounce of butter, and stew it all
until dissolved. Then let stand until
nearly cold, add a well beaten egg, pour
ly cold, add a well beaten egg, pour
into a small pie dish, and brown in
the oven.
Mutton Rolls.—A very savory dish
can be made as follows: Cut some slices
of cold roast mutton, trim off all skin
and fat, and season with pepper and
salt. Chop some capers with a little
lemon peel, lay some on the mutton,
roll up and put on a skewer. Place in
the oven with just enough gravy to
cover, and bake about fifteen minutes.
Slip the rolls off the skewer and serve
with a thick brown gravy. Garnish
with sippets of toast and chopped par-
sley.
Lang Island Pudding. -This is a very
nice pudding, and may be appreciated
by® many who clo not Iike suet int their
puddings. Work two ounces of butter
and two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar
together, then add a well beaten egg,
gradually stir in two tablespoonfuls of
treacle and a teacupful of milk. Stir
a teaspoonful of baking powder into
half a pound of flour, and gradually
mix it with butter, treacle; etc. Place
in a greased mold, boil for two hours,*
and serve with' any nice, sweet sauce.
Beets a La Mode.—Cut two boiled
beets into email pieces; place in a stew -
pan ane teacupful of milk, one ounce
of butter and the yolk • of a small egg.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and 'half
a teaspoonful of p flour, then the beet
roots; stew for ten minutes, and serve.

EXPLORING JAMES' BAY.
Dr. Bell Says All Binds of Cereals are
Cultivated.
Dr. Robert Bell, of the Geological
survey, has returned to Ottawa from
a summer's explotration of the coun-
try hi the vicinity of James' Bay. In-
terviewed the ether day, he said he left
Ottawa about the middle of June, with
the view of continuing the explorations
be had already made in the country be-
tween the Ottawa Raver and. James'
Bay. Going by the Canadian Pacific
Railway wentfrom
wv to Mattawa, he
3'a„
this point northward a. distance of
about five liulzdred miles in a canoe.
From &rattawa he went to Kippewe
Lake, then on to Grand Lake, and
across the height of land to the large
river which he discovered last year,
and which has since been recognized
by the name of Bell River. This river
flows north towards James' Bay. Ile
followed the stream dawn to its mouth,
cohere it en:Alilies into a Iarge lake,
named Lake .tulettagami, which dis-
charges by way of the Mattawa River
into James' Bay., Dr. Bell explored Bell
River from a point near its head down
to its mouth. as well as the whole of
the surrounding country for many
miles clack. This river has a course of
nears 800andisif
miles as large, y
not Iaraer, than theOLL wa
. The
country long
its banks is well wooded.
Pine is scarce, but there is an abun-
dance of other marketable woods. The
country is level, and thse troll is 'rich
loam, which would make -splendid farm-
ing land. Dr. Bell says that at the
Hudson Bay posts along the river all
kinds of cereals are cultivated. Wheat,
Insley, and oats are grown and ma-
tured, also all kinds of garden vege-
tables. This country is located in about
50 degrees of latitude, or about the
same latitude as Winnipeg. Dr. Bali
has also found trams of valuable min-
eral deposits, hut declines to speak of
them in advance of his official report
to the department.

to get good men for the police force,
and it is still more difficult for the
average man to get on the force,
The examinations of would-be police-
men are very severe. .Every applicant
for appointment has to undergo three
distinct examinations. The first is a
medical, the second a mental, and the
third a physical examination. They are
all conducted under civil service rules,
and all arecrigid. Probably the phy-
sical examination is tbu one most dread-
ed. This examination is designed to test
the strength and muscular development
of the applicant. The development is ,
noted by a. series of measurements of
chest, waist abdomen arms and legs. '
The data as to strength are secured

A.New York physician is the inventor
of the humane police club which has
recently been brought to the attention
of the police authorities. The humane
police club consists of a rubber enve-
lope over a wooden core—a club with
a soft rind, simulating the eorky bark
of a tree, similar to the flesh on the
bones of the fish. A policeman's club
is simply an elongated .arm, and .gives
the policeman the advantage over the
other man, and this humane club gives
him that ample advantage withtnl.t the
necessity of disfiguring a man for life,
or causing other permanent injury. The
club is so made tbsat the ruhbier is all
t thecore,and the
around and sticks o 1
o
covering is aboutone-quarter of anima'
thick. The club is of good appearance
and looks like a well -made rosewood ar
cherry club.
